A City On A Hill That Can Not Be Hidden From God




“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden” Matthew 5:14

Do you want to grow closer to God? Do you want your life of faith to be more exciting? Do you want wisdom from Heaven that will help you with the day-today issues of life? Do you want o feel continuously connected to God? “Prayer is the Key”.

Prayer can be creative, satisfying and exciting. You will learn how to draw near to God with confidence as you encounter God through your prayers and see Him working in a marvelous ways through the answers to those prayers. God will become more and more real to you. Soon you will find yourself living a vibrant, dynamic life of faith.

Developing a prayer life is one of the main ways you unlock the door to the great mysteries of God.

You might start your adventure through prayer with God by keeping a prayer journal. This will allow you plenty of space to write daily reflections, as well as record your prayers, answers to prayers, your favorite scriptures and more. When God answers a specific prayer write how He did it. Don’t forget to put the date when you started to pray for a particular request and how it was answered. Don’t give up though if He doesn’t answer it right away because in His timing He will surely answer it one way or another.

Can you imagine a roller-coaster ride? It is not a one person ride however, is it? There is always a seat for two and it certainly is more fun when you share this experience with a friend. You hold hands, scream at the scary parts, grasp one another tightly and excitedly agree to try it again.

Can you imagine this experience with your friend and not laughing and screaming together through the twists and turns? Can you imagine not talking to your friend about the exciting experience once the ride was over?

The roller coaster of our lives is not meant to be ridden alone. We are meant to ride hand in hand with our Lord, and our Creator. He wants to go on our journey of faith with us. He wants to be there every step of the way. As we travel on this journey He longs to talk with us and listen to us. He wants us to hold onto His side when the road gets bumpy or scary. He wants to point out all the wonderful sights along the way. He wants to make special memories with us.

Talking to God throughout the ride is what prayer is all about. To God prayer isn’t boring at all. Like our walk with faith, prayer is an exciting journey with twists and turns, spectacular views, and wonderful surprises. Prayer is a multifaceted, uplifting, awe-inspiring adventure.

Say “hello” to the One who created you He is anxious for you to know Him better, and He has many things to share with you as you explore a life of prayer with Him.

Prayer is the glue that holds our relationship with God together.
